We, the undersigned, announce that as of today FFmpeg maintainership
has been assumed by a new team. Our aim is to facilitate the
development of exciting new features in a timely manner while keeping
high quality standards and above all to provide a fair, productive
environment for developers and contributors.
Development will be structured similarly to the approach taken by the
Linux kernel:
- Write access to the master repository is limited to the
maintainer team.
- Contributions shall be sent as patches to the ffmpeg-devel mailing
list.
- All changes shall be reviewed and approved by at least one other
developer competent in the affected area. This rule applies
equally to the maintainer team.
- Developers are encouraged to publish private repositories.
The maintainer team initially comprises the following people:
Alex Converse
Diego Biurrun
Janne Grunau
Jason Garrett-Glaser
Luca Barbato
Mans Rullgard
Ronald Bultje
The master source repository uses git and is hosted on ffmpeg.org:
git://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
A web interface is available at http://git.ffmpeg.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=summary
Commit notifications are sent to the ffmpeg-commits[1] mailing list.
Devel mailing lists and IRC channels will continue to operate unchanged.
Please direct any queries regarding the technical infrastructure to
the root team:
Attila Kinali
Diego Biurrun
Mans Rullgard
